Beautiful home and property on the river for our stay after visiting Falling Water. Warm, cozy decor and most importantly a very comfy bed and linens. Breakfast was easy to self serve, with delicious breads, yogurt, oatmeal and toppings. Highly recommend!!

We had an amazing stay at Paddler's Lane Retreat. The atmosphere was relaxing and beautiful and our host Dan is a national treasure! He was so funny and helpful in helping us decide which local restaurants to try.
We thoroughly enjoyed our 42nd wedding anniversary trip. Love to explore new places for fly fishing, kayaking and biking! This works for all three!
Mustang picture is per Dan’s request.
The property was super clean, had all the amenities that we needed and had a beautiful view! The kitchen had all the utensils pots and pans and spices that we needed. We liked the trains driving by and waved to them as they passed.
It is well-run by friendly and accessible hosts, ready to see to your every need. It is set in a relaxing, natural location with a small river running by (and an occasional train). It is very close to Fallingwater and Kentuck Knob (Frank Lloyd Wright designed homes) as well as cycling and kayaking options. You should choose Paddler's Retreat for these reasons. Dining and shopping options are very limited.
Location great next to the river and walking trails. Next trip would include a river trip (put in upstream and take-out right at the house).
Please was very clean and kitchen had plenty of equipment and supplies for cooking.
We liked that the property was out of the way. The owners are lovely and welcoming. Thorough in providing checking information, things to do in the area and surrounding area.
The property is beautiful and very peaceful . The home was very upscale and furnished with fine materials. Anything you could need was furnished along with additional perks.
Dan and Robin are very thoughtful and caring hosts. The location was very close to falling waters. The place was extremely clean and we were allowed to cook in the kitchen.
The nearby town restaurants close early and you may want to take your own food for dinner. Breakfast is provided by the hosts.
Only negative is the sound of trains nearby.
My wife described it perfectly as home away from home. When traveling with 5 kids, it is hard to find space that accommodates us all. This place did it. The snow, trains, and peaceful atmosphere will bring us back.
Very secluded and lovely getaway, tastefully decorated and superb construction in the style of Frank Lloyd Wright.
Exquisite landscaping and attention to detail! The pride of ownership is apparent and proprietor Dan is very helpful with area restaurants and history of this unique place!
Very clean and well maintained beautiful private property on the riverbank. Next to the train tracks but earplugs were provided and the loft was well insulated for the kiddos. Breakfast was good, coffee was good. Right next to the mid-Yough launch point for kayaking as well. Great experience!
A last m minute booking on a drive thru in Confluence PA yielded a wonderful overnight stay. Our original booking of a room in the lodge became unavailable due to a plumbing issue. We were upgraded to the chalet which gave us more than enough room. This stay may produce a summer visit with more family members. The hosts really care about the property
This B&B is in a lovely setting. I chose it for its location near Falling Water and Kentuck Knob. The owner/host was very helpful. Room was very quiet even though a freight train passes by during the night. Great breakfast. I would hilghly recommend.
The house was absolutely beautiful. Robin has thought of every touch and comfort. We felt totally at home and spoiled at the same time. The river and trains were soothing to the soul! We will return. Thanks to the hosts for all the special touches and attention to detail. It was all greatly appreciated!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Comfortable bed, great hosts, good breakfast, use of the kitchen and living room. On an active train root, but the hosts provided ear plugs. Wasn’t too bad. Only woke once.
Very friendly bed & breakfast vibe in a lovely setting. Our queen-bedded room was small, but nicely arranged. The trains that go by are loud and more than a couple pass at night. Ear plugs are thoughtfully provided. The first night we had our windows open as the room was a bit warm. If you are sensitive to noise, it may be a struggle.
We had such a wonderful stay at Dan and Robin's. The property is close to a beautiful river and in a beautiful setting. The bedroom is cozy and comfortable with more than enough space a bathroom attached. The living area can easily handle a large crowd and has all the comforts of home. Dan and Robin even had a Christmas tree set up in the living with lights and all! The hearth is wonderful, and Dan had the fireplace all set up with kindling, paper and wood. Just had to light it! Perfect for a romantic evening with my wife. Breakfast was delicious and there was plenty of food for us. We highly recommend this property and plan to visit again. Soon, hopefully.
Cabin is lovely and hosts keep the place clean and in top shape. My only thought about a better experience would be to mention more clearly in their advertising the very loud train tracks a few yards away, and that each house has 2-3 bedrooms and a loft to rent, and that the loft comes with one of the masters.
